When I think of motivation and inspiration, whether in the context or not in the context of Parkinson’s disease, I think of today’s guest – Jimmy Choi. When I mention this to my non-Parkinson’s friends, they get excited because they think I know the famous shoe designer and just mispronounced his name. Nope. This Jimmy is truly an inspiration. As you’ll learn from listening today, Jimmy was in complete denial for about 8 years until something happened that shook him to his core and got him to focus on living his best life with PD. This is a very compelling story of denial to world record holder and TV phenomenon. Thank you to my sponsor, Boston Scientific, the maker of Vercise, a directional system Deep Brain Stimulation or DBS device.

WOW!! Sheryl this podcast with Jimmy Choi was So Motivational for me! He has an amazing PD story. Thanks So Much for doing the podcast with him! Love what he said about Challenging yourself to do just a Little more each day! Definitely motivated to continue making fitness a priority in my life and challenged to set some new goals for myself.
I was one of those who thought that Jimmy Choi was a shoe guy. WOW!! Was I wrong. He is remarkable. Diagnosed so young – he certainly hasn’t had time to feel sorry for himself. Talk about doing everything you can to “be the best you can be” and “live your best life”..
